How asbestos garage roof removal works in Caldecott
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Caldecott is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, involving cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards.
Homes in areas like Caldecott often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Things not to do

Common questions in Caldecott
Do you work near Culham station?
Yes. Culham station is about 2.3 miles east of Caldecott, and we cover both.
My garage in Caldecott has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you work in Caldecott?
Yes. We cover Caldecott and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Duty holders and landlords in Caldecott
If you manage or own a block in Caldecott, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
